--------------------------------------

             Summary: Generator writes unneeded temporary output
                 Key: NUTCH-2635
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2635
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: generator
    Affects Versions: 1.15
            Reporter: Sebastian Nagel
             Fix For: 1.16


Generator writes the temporary output of the Selector job/step twice (see [line 516|https://github.com/apache/nutch/blob/branch-1.15/src/java/org/apache/nutch/crawl/Generator.java#L516]). Not a big issue when generating small fetch lists but may be when working on large data. The temporary output looks like:
{noformat}
% tree -h generate-temp-fc27fe85-9ddc-4926-b6ba-dcd0066d5007/
enerate-temp-fc27fe85-9ddc-4926-b6ba-dcd0066d5007/
|-- [4.0K]  fetchlist-1
|   `-- [ 25M]  part-r-00000
`-- [ 77M]  part-r-00000

1 directory, 2 files

% file generate-temp-fc27fe85-9ddc-4926-b6ba-dcd0066d5007/part-r-00000 
generate-temp-fc27fe85-9ddc-4926-b6ba-dcd0066d5007/part-r-00000: ASCII text

% file generate-temp-fc27fe85-9ddc-4926-b6ba-dcd0066d5007/fetchlist-1/part-r-00000 
generate-temp-fc27fe85-9ddc-4926-b6ba-dcd0066d5007/fetchlist-1/part-r-00000: Apache Hadoop Sequence file version 6
{noformat}
The unneeded output is plain-text which explains its larger size compared to the Hadoop Sequence file.
